Uplink transmission power control method and apparatus

A method for controlling uplink transmission power in a wireless communication system, includes transmitting transmit power command (TPC) monitoring information to adjust an uplink transmission power for a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) cell and a second PUCCH cell, the TPC monitoring information including a first TPC index assigned to the first PUCCH cell and a second TPC index assigned to the second PUCCH cell, wherein the base station is configured with dual connectivity in which the base station manages at least one set of a first set of serving cells and a second set of serving cells, wherein the first PUCCH cell is only one cell which is capable of transmitting a first PUCCH in the first set of serving cells, wherein the second PUCCH cell is only one cell which is capable of transmitting a second PUCCH in the second set of serving cells; and transmitting a TPC payload on a downlink control channel.
